StartOK, OK Angel Sidecar Funds lead $1 million investment 

A pair of investment funds managed by i2E, Inc., recently closed a $500,000 Series A investment round in Tulsa’s ICEdot. The i2E managed funds led an investment round of $1.03 million, which included co-investment from Oklahoma angels and out-of-state strategic investors. i2E investment included $300,000 from its StartOK Accelerator Fund and $200,000 from its OK Angel Sidecar Fund.

ICEdot has created an innovative crash sensor attached to the safety helmet of cyclists, skiers, snow boarders, BMX bikers and other action sport participants. The ICEdot Crash Sensor detects forces consistent with head injury and notifies emergency contacts of the owners GPS coordinates via text message. With worldwide exclusive license to the sensor technology, ICEdot is the only service that combines health data, sensor-based detection and notification services.

“With this funding we will be able to manufacture our highly anticipated Crash Sensors,” said Chris Zenthoefer, ICEdot’s chief executive officer. “Transitioning from prototypes to production is an exciting time, and we are eager to take our product to the market.

The crash sensor is expected to commercially debut at this year’s edition of the Saint Francis Tulsa Tough, June 7-9.

The StartOK Accelerator Fund and OKAngel Sidecar Fund are two of three Accelerate Oklahoma! investment vehicles created in 2011 by i2E through a partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and the U.S. Treasury State Small Business Credit Initiative.

The StartOK Fund targets companies that are in the startup stage that have not yet completed a product launch. The OK Angel Sidecar Fund specifically targets opportunities to invest alongside Oklahoma angel investors.
